TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio) Stylistically “Nobody Has To Know” picks up from the Future Funk style Onra originated on his 2010’s “Long Distance” (and its 2012 companion EP “Deep In The Night” for Fool’s Gold). Where those two releases mined 1. Prelude the early and mid parts of the 1980s for ideas and references, the new 2. Secretly album digs into late ‘80s and early ‘90s jams for smoother and richer sounds. Bolstering the record are two talented multi-instrumentalists, 3. Let Me Fantasize New Zealand’s Lewis McCallum and Belgium’s Pomrad, who bring 4. Love Triangle touches of virtuosity to Onra’s trademark smooth arrangements. The result is a record that, like its theme, oscillates between tender, torrid 5. No Question ft. Pomrad and tumultuous. 6. Wish I Could Over its 13 tracks “Nobody Has To Know” details the ups and downs of 7. The Jam a secret relationship, from the excitement of doing something forbidden 8. Freak ft. Lewis McCallum to the aftermath of living out fantasies. On “Let Me Fantasize” a rolling 9. Not Long Ago bassline and sparkling melodies capture the excitement of what is possible, the mind wandering into the forbidden. “No Question” taps into 10. Wait A Minute New Jack Swing to act out desires that can’t be suppressed, exuberant 11. Nothing To Lose solos echoing dangerous feelings. With its hard drums and smooth horn solos, and chorus of “Freak” takes you to that place where you can 12. 4U do things you only dreamed about. Balancing this intensity are more 13. All The Time introspective moments. “Not Long Ago” rolls out gentle synth solos and nostalgic samples to reflect on past relationships and the very human desire to have what you had or can no longer reach. Rich textures and a languid rhythm underpin the reflective mood of “Nothing To Lose,” as you wonder what could go wrong – it’s a fine line after all.
The fantasizing, excitement and danger of fatal attraction are all reflected through the prism of the music. With “Nobody Has To Know” Onra deftly evolves the style he first began to explore a decade ago with his unique touch, re-affirming a unique sound rooted in warmth and setting the mood for some late-night escapades.

A. The world - in which The Buy Muy Drugs exists - harbors concerted cries from all walks of life: The voice of two black-market alchemists Hyperdope with copious amounts of gold. An arcane chairman of a multinational trap house getting high on his own supply of monoatomic gold (MFKZT, B. manna). The working class, affected by the aftermath of MKFZT’s FWMA Ft. Yasiin Bey commercial distribution, teeters in elevated levels of addiction. The gentry’s license to manna-fest change enables the diet of big pharma- philosopher’s stone.
All of this, in symphony, depicts a constant theme in history: man’s desire to transcend the confines of the human condition and become gods.
The Buy Muy Drugs’ sound is 45 minutes of designer dissonance. An Afro-Brazilian percussive mien hybridized with the aggressive, federally- sanctioned genre: loom-bap. The bass-drunk 909s, programmed to stomp mud-holes throughout the full-length’s soundscape, drive the manic transitions between maximal bliss and minimal dystopia.
Celebrated perspectives include Yasiin Bey, Open Mike Eagle, Quelle Chris, Billy The Kid, Sassi Blaque, Big Tone and Adad.
